ADVOCACY IN ACTION
ALL COMMITTEES MEETING
T
he Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) has five advocacy task forces: Energy, Infrastructure, Environment,
Research and Innovation, and Diversity and Inclusion. The task forces were set up to inform our advocacy work and each
of them have four key objectives:
* Conduct research
* Create policy recommendations & attend OSPE's MPP Reception
* Engage OSPE membership and other stakeholders
* Nominate members of the engineering community for awards
Task force members are subject matter experts, established thought leaders, and members of the engineering community
who volunteer their time to work on key initiatives throughout the year. OSPE hosts an annual All Committees Meeting (ACM)
in the Spring, where the task force members come together to brainstorm new ideas. This year, the ACM took place on May 27,
2020 through a virtual platform due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At this meeting members discussed the direction for the upcoming year and potential points of collaboration across task
forces. The purpose and topics of focus for 2020-21 by task force are as follows:
ENVIRONMENT
Protecting the environment is essential to promoting a
sustainable and healthy lifestyle for current and future
generations. As problem solvers, engineers provide
important insights on system planning, efficiencies and
integration, total lifecycle costing and scenario analysis for
sound policy making when it comes to combating climate
change and mitigating our impact.
Focus for 2020-21:
* Electric Vehicles
* 4 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover)
*G
etting engineers on government environment advisory
panels
* On-demand transit
* Flood adaptation and mitigation

ENERGY
Ontario's economic well-being is linked to the reliability
and cost-effectiveness of our energy systems. Successful
policies must accommodate fundamental engineering
principles that govern energy production, distribution,
and consumption.

* Electricity Pricing
* Small Modular Reactors (Nuclear Energy)
* Distributed Energy Resources
* Geothermal Energy
